ATC's

Hi Everyone

How are we all coping? 

My gaffa hasn't decided what is happening work wise, we've reduced the office to only two in at a time. I'm working a 2 day week until he decides. 

I'm hoping he makes the decision tomorrow as it the last day of the month.

I'm sharing the last two months of ATC's I made.

Theme here was Valentine, so I made the standard ATC's and a couple of ATCoins.

Theme here was Imagine, so I imagined being on a beach and wow am I gonna need this imagination over the coming months. 

Thanks for visiting, I really do appreciate it x

Neice

Hello

Hubby and I went to Bletchley Park on Saturday, it was a really great day.

It's amazing what went on their such clever people and the secrets they had to keep, which did make me wonder, when did the Germans actually find out that we had decoded their Enigma Machine.

I mad this little card for my niece.

Presscut , Hearlfelt Creations and Tonic dies and also some unbranded ones which were gifted to me.

Many thanks for your visit I really do appreicat it x

Wedding

Hello All

I'm sharing today a wedding card I made for my husbands best friends son, now that's a mouthful...lol

We had a lovely time at the wedding but couldn't believe the weather luckily the rain came later in the day so didn't affect the photo's.

Theres a good selection of dies that I've used, Presscut, Sue Wilson,Tonic and Heartfelt Creations.

Took a bit of figuring out to get my squares layered up to get the effect I wanted but got there in the end. So I repeated that on another card that I'll share later for a 25th Anniversary.

I also made a gift wallet to match.

As always thanks for your visit it is much appreciated x

Always be a Mermaid!

Hello

Today is my sisters birthday, I made the card first and another box in black and white but then had a thought about making another box to match the card. Wasn't as easy as I thought but worked out better than I expected. 

She is normally away for her birthday but she is going away a couple of days later this time so we are meeting tonight for a meal and a catch up.

The box is filled with a few holiday essentials but I bought a few to many and had to wrap some up separately....

The mermaid stamp is from craft stamper mag, the box is tonic second attempt, coloured with distress inks and some shells added to the lid.

Thanks for visiting, really do appreciate it!

My Valentine

Christmas Penguins 2017

Hello All

Sharing some more Christmas cards with you, the same but different...lol

I've used Tonic and Presscut dies, Britannia word die and falling snow embossing folder, with some added distress inks ...naturally.

What do you think was your worst craft buy, mine was this........or at least

in the top 5.

I really wished I'd never taken them of the reels. I'm forever sorting it out.

Thanks for visiting,much appreciated.

Penquins

Hello All

Sharing some more penguins with you all, just used different colour scheme, these will be for brothers and sisters.

Have you spotted my little mistake....I will be sending that one to my sister....lol

The design is based on one of Jodie Johnsons from Tonic.

Mostly Tonic dies used, I think the Happy Christmas is a Britannia die, with distressed ink background and glitter.

Thanks for visiting!

Birds and Blooms and a moan!

Hi All

Today's cards are using HFC stamps and dies from birds and blooms, one sheet of 12 x 12 paper, that I stamped with a stamp script, some word stamps and my trustee distress inks.  

The last two I used a spellbinder and tonic dies.

I really like HFC stamps and dies but I have one gripe with them and that is that the dies don't match the stamps and it really annoys me. There is a stamp in the stamp set that I don't have the die for and dies that I don't have the stamps for, what is that all about. 

It's really making me think hard before I purchase any more of them.

Sorry moan over here's my cards.

As always thanks for your visit.
